March - April 2010 - "MIST" Singapore

In March and April of 2010, I had a solo exhibition of paintings in the Atrium Gallery, Australian High Commission in Singapore.

The exhibition was opened by the High Commissioner Doug Chester and was well really received by the expat community in Singapore.

This body of work was inspired by a fifteen year study of a number of Asian cultures which may offer both Eastern and Western cultures a glimpse of a different and perhaps more honourable and balanced way of being. Singapore has been viewed as a meeting place and ‘melting pot’ between the East and the West and for this reason I was enthusiastic to display art works which also reflect the positive and unifying aspects of our world cultures.

While in Singapore, I was fortunate to acquire representation through “Collector’s Contemporary” where I am absolutely honoured to be hanging among names such as Banksy, Jean-Michel Basquait, Damian Hirst and Warhol – to name but a few!The link to Contemporary Collectors is: http://www.collectors.com.sg
